    Paperback. Condición: New. Meet the doctors, scientists and patients patients fighting the world's worst diseases'A must read.' Siddhartha Mukherjee, bestselling author of The Emperor of All MaladiesWhat does it take to create a new medicine? The trajectory from laboratory to your neighbourhood pharmacy rarely runs smooth. Drug hunting demands radical leaps of imagination, the expertise of many. and a hefty dollop of luck.

For each of these medicines, whether a potentially life-saving new treatment for cancer, or something as commonplace as paracetamol, there stands a cast of characters and a wealth of stories. Documenting these fascinating journeys, Breakthrough grants a privileged, behind-the-scenes look at the medicines that improve - and very often save - our lives.Foreword by Nobel Prize-Winner Harold Varmus***'Utterly compelling.' Dame Kate Bingham, author of The Long Shot'A celebration of medical innovation.' Guardian'Captivating. An essential read.' Art Levinson, former CEO of Genentech.

    Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A world-class scientist shares an expert insider view of how real medical science happens, and how teams of brilliant people tackled some of the worst diseases in the world.We often hear about the dark side of the pharmaceutical industry from extortionist pricing to the opioid epidemic. But theres another story to be told. In Breakthrough, Dr William Pao cuts to the innovative heart of the industry and celebrates the genius and tireless work of scientists fighting for better treatments and medical care.Through the story of eight revolutionary drugs, William Pao provides a compelling insider account of the wonders of medical science and life-changing biotechnology. Behind each of these medicines, whether revolutionary drug treatments for cancer, or something as commonplace as paracetamol, there stands a cast of characters and a wealth of stories as fascinating as they are inspiring.The trajectory from drug discovery to a pill ending up on the shelf at the local chemist is rarely a straight line. Eureka moments are few are far between. It demands leaps of imagination and lateral thinking, the accumulation of the knowledge and expertise of many, and nearly always a hefty dollop of luck. Above all, it involves innovation.Pao, so often in the hot seat throughout his storied career, documents these journeys, and grants us a privileged look at the stories behind the medicines that improve and very often save our lives. An insider view of the surprising innovations, collaborations and human stories behind our most vital medicines.
